Hello,

I'm updating my guix repository in Debian/Hurd with the commit 40f5c53d89da266055a1dd6571c380f5c57fe5f9.
When I run `sudo ./pre-inst-env guix system init doc/os-config-hurd.scm /guix --fallback --no-substitutes --no-build-hook` show the error:

`
Backtrace:
          10 (primitive-load "/home/jin/guix/scripts/guix")

`
I have reviewed the code in (scripts system), but I have not had luck; Any idea what's happening?

Attachment operating system configuration template.

Thank you
Rene

I can’t reproduce it on current master (I had to comment out
‘%base-services-hurd’ and ‘%base-packages-hurd’.)

Could it be that you’re using a special branch?

Could you try:

  guix system init --on-error=repl …

to try and get more info at the REPL?  (For instance, you can type
“,locals” at the REPL to examine the local variables at a given frame.)

TIA,
Ludo’.
